Foreword

W eve been doing it all wrong.

Its no secret, to either readers or writers, that the entire writing industrial complex is in trouble as regards not just sports writing but just about every kind of writing that makes use of letters, sentences, and the occasional paragraph. Jobs are scarce, layoffs have spread like measles among the unvaccinated, and print and online publishers close or merge into the dim-witted mists of capital reorganization every day. The few that remain not only publish less written work every year but often treat it like an enormous bother. Somehow writing itself has become the greatest impediment to the reigning business model, which measures success in IPOs, an office fridge full of double IPAs, and a summer tiny house.

Clearly, the model that worked for so long, one in which writers, usually supported by advertising, were paid in currency for their work, then had children, bought houses, and went to the bar and ran up a tab (although rarely in that order), is no longer sustainable. Not only are there fewer jobsby some estimates in the last decade half of all journalism jobs have disappearedbut already stagnant pay is going down, and fast. Finalists for the National Magazine Award have asked if I know where they might be able to pitch a story and get paid in cash. I know of legacy outlets that now pay only $100 for stories that run thousands of words, often make the writer wait many, many months for that, and cut a check only after the writer has expended more pretty-please words begging for payment than they used in the original story. Even more brilliant are those outlets that have convinced people to produce contentwhich approximates writing through the ingenious use of a familiar alphabet, punctuation, and the occasional space and hard returnfor free.
